Configure E-mail for a Reporting Services Service Application (SharePoint 2010 and SharePoint 2013)

Reporting Services data alerting sends alerts in e-mail messages. To send e-mail you may need to configure your Reporting Services service application and you may need to modify the e-mail delivery extension for the service application. The e-mail settings are also required if you plan to use the e-mail delivery extension for the Reporting Services subscription feature.

The account of the user specified in From address must be a managed account that you specified when you configured the application pool for the Reporting Services service application. If you have permission, you can view a list of existing managed accounts on the Service Accounts page in SharePoint Central Administration.

Click OK.

NTLM Authentication

If your email environment requires NTLM authentication and does not allow anonymous access, you need to modify the e-mail delivery extension configuration for your Reporting Services service applications. For example, if you see the following message in the for the Last Results on the Manage Subscriptions page:subscriptions.

Failure sending mail: The SMTP server requires a secure connection or the client was not authenticated. The server response was: 5.7.1 Client was not authenticatedMail will not be resent.

Change the SMTPAuthenticate to use a value of “2”. This value cannot be changed from the user interface. The following PowerShell script example, updates the full configuration for the report server e-mail delivery extension for the service application named “SSRS_TESTAPPLICATION”. Note some of the nodes listed in the script can also be set from the user interface, for example the “From” address.
